Plaid Steffi for Autumn

Description

I made this blazer using the Steffi pattern. I really love this! I have been wearing it every day even though it is already getting a little too cold for it. I lined it with some beautiful aubergine satin that I found. I think that – adding lining – and lengthening the sleeves were the only changes I made to this.

You have two collar pieces. Put interfacing onto one of these. Pin the interfaced one to the neck of the coat, right sides facing, then stitch it. Trim the seam allowances and cut little notches like in the picture.

Jodika you are amazing – i was kinda getting to working it out after looking at a tonne of jackets but you really put the pennies in place and now they have dropped !! thank thank you you are amazing. If my jacket turns out good enough to put up you will be getting credit !!

Where is your horse and where are the Corgies, Royal Highness?? ;)
The jacket is really suitable for you, your appearance makes it less stringent (right word?). I think you can wear it with many other garments. It looks really nice to the Jeans on the photo.
